VW Beetle students can plop into the fjord.

Five Canadian students wanted a car from a bridge and refreshing - but it fell into the water. The breakdown should Ulk the young engineers with a delicate penalty involved. Worse: You are now a mockery of the whole department.

 

Five aspiring engineers wanted in Canada earlier this week their technical skills to the test - and failed miserably. The police caught the quintet in Vancouver when trying to get a VW Beetle from a bridge to dangle.

The police informed the students of the University of British Columbia, after the body with ropes on a bridge had to depend on, said police spokeswoman Lindsey Houghton. When the students the cover of the cars just the 30-meter high Ironworkers Bridge herabließen, tore one of the steel, and the beetles clapped into the water of Burrard fjord.

Regarding the arrest was for the five buffoons nor ignominy: Despite their discipline they could not do it, the car after all the rules of engineering at the bridge up. This guarantees them the peers of Häme.

In North America, and mechanically sophisticated planning engineer jokes tradition. For nearly 30 years are the students of the University of British Columbia each year, the shell of a VW Beetle said bridge - and the most successful ever.

Dean ashamed for his students

Such pranks called Pranks, shall be construed as evidence of technical skills courses. Famous are on the east coast of the USA the daring actions of deco students at the Massachusetts Institue of Technology, the regular cars and houses on
representative Unigebäude plant.

The five engineering students unhappy Vancouver still had to bargain from the local police can mock. A spokesman mocked the young students "should be perhaps the lectures on winches through again."

Bruce Dunwoody, Vice-Dean of Engineering, was embarrassed by the action of his students: "The whole thing is an embarrassing story, and the fact that their attempt failed, making it not much better." The students would see such a painting in "a way of growing their talents on technically difficult area to show" - or the lack of talent.

Dunwoody said that he was much relieved that the action failed nobody was hurt. The police put the students back on free foot, initiated investigations into rough but nonsense and recommended a penalty of 5000 Canadian dollars. The University will investigate the case.
